He admits he never once talked to his friend Tony Rezko about any of the dozen times the city of Chicago sued Rezko over failure to provide heat to his slum buildings during the winter months. Obama failed the poor people of his district. He falls back on the "Sgt Schultz" excuse - he knew nothing:

Obama picked Rezko for the campaign finance committee for his 2004 U.S. Senate run. Around that same time, Rezko had begun walking away from affordable-housing projects he was building with government funds, leaving some in squalor — including some buildings in Obama’s own Illinois Senate district. Obama said he knew nothing of those problems.

Had Obama known, he said he would have talked to Rezko about the problems.
“I think it is deeply troubling he did not keep these properties up, and I am very disappointed in that,” Obama said.
